Check the information below to find out about the enhancements and fixes included in this version:
Enhancement: Changes to the Create Analytical Model command (TSD-14627, TSD-16384, TSD-16558 & TSD-16559)
The Create Analytical Model command has been enhanced with this version. The coding used to generate the analytical model no longer works primarily on levels, it is now based on Revit instance positions and intersections.
Fig 1. Create Analytical Model dialog.
These changes have been updated within the Advisory notes.
Additional options to Create Analytical Model Command
The Create Analytical Model command has been amended to now contain 3 options:
Fig 2. Create Analytical Model dialog (partial).
- Create New Objects Only
- Revit physical instances with no associated analytical instance - This option ignores any existing analytical instances
- Create New and Update Existing
- This updates both physical instances with an existing analytical instance and creates new analytical instances for any physical instances with no associated analytical instances.
- Update Existing Objects Only
- Revit physical instance with an existing analytical instance - This option ignores any new physical objects with no associated analytical instances
Create Analytical Model - Column Analytical Members
The rules for adjusting Column Analytical Members have been adjusted as follows:
-
All Column Analytical Members are located at the bottom of the Structural Column position, irrespective of any adjacent levels in the Revit model.
Fig 3. Column Analytical Member extending to bottom of Structural Column, regardless of any adjacent levels.
-
If the top of a Column Analytical Member is located at the same position as a level, it will remain at the same position.
Fig 4. Column Analytical Member and Structural Column top both ending at a Revit level position.
-
If the top of a Column Analytical Member is located at the same position as a Beam Analytical Member, it will remain at the same position.
Fig 5. Column Analytical Member and Structural Column top both ending at the intersection point of a Structural Framing - Beam instance. As the column does not end at the level position, it is ignored.
If the top of the Structural Column reference line exists within 24” or 600mm of a Beam Analytical Member, it will be extended or shortened to the intersection point.
Fig 6. Column Analytical Member extends to intersect the Beam Analytical Member as it is within 24” or 600mm of the top of the Structural Column instance.
-
In all other cases, the Column Analytical Member will be positioned at the same location as the Structural Column reference line.
Fig 7. Column Analytical Member extends to the top of the Structural Column instance as it does not meet any of the previous criteria.
Create Analytical Model - Bracing Analytical Members
The rules for adjusting Bracing Analytical Members have been adjusted as follows:
-
If the start or end of the Bracing Analytical Member intersects with the start or end positions of a Structural Framing Beam reference line or Column Analysis member, that position is not adjusted.
Fig 8. Bracing Analytical Member modeled to the intersection of the Structural Framing and Structural Column instances.
-
If the start or end of the Bracing Analytical Member lies within a distance of 24” or 600mm of the end of a Structural Framing Beam reference line or a Column Analysis Member, the Bracing Analytical Member is adjusted to suit the relevant position.
Fig 9. Bracing Analytical Member created to the intersection of the Structural Framing and Structural Column instances as the end sits within the 24” tolerance.
-
If the start or end of the Bracing Analytical Member lies within a distance of 24” or 600mm of the midpoint of a Structural Framing Beam reference line or a Column Analysis Member, the Bracing Analytical Member is adjusted to suit the relevant position.
Fig 10. Bracing Analytical Member created to the midpoint of the Structural Framing instance above as the ends sit within the 24” tolerance.
-
In other situations, the start or end of the Bracing Analytical Member will not be adjusted to a level in the Revit model.
Fig 11. Bracing Analytical Member unadjusted as it does not meet any of the above criteria.
Note: For Bracing Analytical Members, please note that rule 2 takes
precedence over rule 3.
Enhancement: KCS series joists added to Tekla Library (TSD-1894)
KCS series joist families have been added to the Tekla Library, allowing these items to be integrated to and from Tekla Structural Designer.

Fixed: Fatal Error - There is a circular chain of references (TSD-15348)
A fatal error due to Revit Document Corruption has been fixed. This error was related to a model specific issue with a complex intersection between three analytical panels. The error is now shown as a warning allowing the integration process to continue.
Fixed: Zero length columns causing error within the Create Analytical Model command (TSD-16084)
A model specific issue resulting in an error when using the Create Analytical Model command has been fixed. This issue was specifically related to zero-length columns.
Enhancement: Warning when manually mapping to a non-structural family (TSD-16131)
The integrator software has been enhanced to show a warning when the user performs manual mapping to a non-structural family (e.g. Columns rather than Structural Columns).
Fig 13. Dialog encountered when selecting a non-Structural Column family.
Enhancement: UK family and type libraries completed (TSD-16173)
The default Autodesk libraries are incomplete for the UK region. Several types are missing from the UB, UC and Tee libraries which have now been addressed. Additional families to replace the default Autodesk content have been created and are now located within the Tekla Library.
The automated profile mapping within the integrator has been updated to suit these enhancements and the new families will be used by default.

Other minor issues have been addressed based on your feedback. Thank you.
